Keeping Up With “Reality”

Iraq => the old 9/11: Old and Busted

Iran => a new 9/11: The New Hotness

 (The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, John Bolton, on Wednesday compared the threat from Iran’s nuclear programs to the September 11 terror attacks on the United States.

“Just like September 11, only with nuclear weapons this time, that’s the threat. I think that is the threat,” Bolton told ABC News’ Nightline program.

“I think it’s just facing reality. It’s not a happy reality, but it’s reality and if you don’t deal with it, it will become even more unpleasant.”)

Achewood Died for Our Sins

Achewood has had an incredibly gripping storyline going for a few weeks (as I mentioned here), and it’s at or near a climax.  No new strip was up this morning, but eventually a note appeared on the site that a new strip would be up at noon PST (3 pm our time).  At the promised moment, it was impossible to pull up the Achewood page.  It timed out.  So many people refreshing and refreshing the page hoping to see the update?  The situation went on for an hour or so at least, and rather than getting better it started redirecting to this Portland ISP — Achewood’s provider perhaps?

Did we kill Achewood, at least for today?  Yikes!
